The Gasworks Brewbar in Manchester

Busy on a Friday evening but got quieter later on. Good selection of both cask and 'craft' beers. Food looked good and there are two dartboards and two shuffleboard lanes.

Nice brewbar with alot of different and interesting beers to choose from. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

We loved it. £30 boneless "wings" are for 3 people at least.

A very nice place to be. Big tables that can hold groups, food was very good. Service was okay. The table was still dirty from the previous group, even though it was a very quiet day. Table service does not exist, you can order food only at the bar. The dining area was very nice, the bathroom not so much, mold and condensation everywhere.

Went for a couple pints, it was a quiet Sunday afternoon, so that was nice for the dogs to join. Everyone was so welcoming and the tap list was pretty varied.

A really nice bar and the edge of the city centre. Had a great atmosphere the shuffle board and darts are really great additions. Prices are a little bit high but probably about right for the city centre.

Never been here before but sure glad I did . Had a few beers before a gig at the o2 ritz . Food was excellent and worth the money . Happy hour on the house lager 👌🏻

We were a crazy group and the waitresses treated us very well despite not speaking English and singing a lot. The place is huge with very cool decoration. They have a distillery facility in sight that I have never seen before.

Great times had by all! The Shufl boarding and the electric darts were awesome! Awesome beer and we had a brilliant time

If you like a good beer choice, in a big warehouse style bar, then the Gas Works won't disappoint. Not the cheapest in Manchester, but certainly one of the best.

I'm and old-skool video games addict and this bar has a bunch of them in a single cabinet and I cheerfully shoved a few quid in. But, excellent beer on tap and a wide choice as well 👌

The food was awesome! Decent beers as well.

Ok for a pint at happy hour, but whatever you do don’t eat here. They served me rice on top of paper which disintegrated and I got a nice mouthful of printed paper. Also expensive for what you get.

This spot is a real find, offering fantastic value with a tasty range of dishes that really hit the mark. The portions are bigger than you’d expect, and the chicken is especially juicy and packed with flavour. It’s one of those meals that leaves you feeling satisfied without overdoing it. The vibe here is laid-back, making it a great place to relax over lunch. There’s also a good selection of games to keep things fun while you eat. With its reasonable prices, delicious food, and chilled atmosphere, it’s a go-to spot for a tasty, laid-back meal.

Such a great place, staff were lovely, there were 8 of us and had a great lunch, they have a new Asian Chicken Kitchen in there, food was amazing, way exceeded expectations. Never played shufl board before, this was good fun. Definitely worth a trip

Got the Thief Street chicken 2 person sharing platter at £42. It was tasty, the burgers were okay but I felt the burger to bun ratio was a bit off. Had to ask for side plates and given the stickiness of the meal some lemon hand wipes would have been a nice addition. Wanted to play darts, one wasn't working the other was supposed to be working but kept neglecting to register the throws so we got a refund and an apology. Some areas of the venue look like they need a deep clean and to be upholstered. Dust in a few places. Tables seemed to take quite a bit of time to get cleared of glasses and food. Staff are lovely though and it's generally always a good experience when we've been previously.

great spot and lovely food available for vegans and veggies. the staff are super helpful and let you do tasters if you’re not sure on the beer. reece/rhys was a lovely server and made us feel very welcome and made us laugh a lot. couldn’t recommend this place enough the food, service, game options are amazing !!

Great spot and lovely staff that made us feel welcome and even gave us tasters of the beer when we were undecided. Food was delicious and lots of veggie options. Would definitely go again such a nice vibe :)

Class! Got the sharing platter which was amazing! Really good amount of food and the taste was insane!! Added Nachos and Yakitori skewers 👍👍👍

Desperate service !! Go to Home across the road.

We had a nice event and drinks in this one. Beautiful interior and also a local brewery in house. Very extensive menu and super friendly service at the bar. Top place for meetings and events.

Nice and huge pub with gaming options inside. Broad range of beers and other drinks. Classic pub food with vegetation options.

A great, spacious location with a large selection of beer. The shuffle game in particular is a lot of fun together. There is a separate ground-level toilet for people with walking difficulties.

Next to carparking great place to grab a drink

Love this place, great for a beverage and a game of darts or shuffle board, never had the food but will try next time spesh aftet what Adam Richmond munched

A little known gem if you like shufl, crafted beer, good music and nice personnel. I can't understand why this place isn't crowded at weekends 😯

Called in for a pint on a Sunday afternoon. Wide selection of drinks.They have some tables outside but the majority are inside. They have some shuffleboard tables as well.

Friendly Staff, cosy place and superb chicken burgers. In addition to ofc. good selection of beer. Can def. recommend this place

Cracking bar with some craft keg and cask beers, some of it brewed onsite. Staff very friendly. Didn't have food but what i saw looked very good. They have some great bar games there including two darts boards. Will be back

Great beers, great price, and a great bar.

We visited gasworks for drinks and a light bite before going out in Manchester. Great atmosphere within the bar with a variety of games available, darts and shuffleboard included. We ordered a couple of drinks and the honey and soy fried chicken tenders on a bed of waffle fries. The food was absolutely delicious. Good service and friendly staff. I would like to revisit in the summer so sit in the outdoor area and soak up the sun. Great place to visit when in the area. I would definitely recommend.

This place doesn’t have the feel of a true brewpub, it’s a bar that serves its own beers but also a large selection of mass produced lager , which perhaps suggests its customers are there for the location , near to a theatre and not on the hunt for own brewed beer.

My husband and I dropped in here before a gig at O2 Ritz. There was a good range of beers in tap. We also opted for some small plates, trying the Viet nom nom and Mac n Kimchi. Both were tasty but we did expect bigger portions for the price, but maybe that's just a reflection of Manchester pricing. They were hosting a free quiz when we were there on Tuesday night. We'd definitely return.

Great atmosphere when we walked in. Came here as part of a food day out in Manchester and wasn't disappointed. Had the Nom Noms, very nice, but strange eating a meat filled donut! 🤔 also had Korean chicken, also very nice, washed down with a refreshing Elderflower lager 👍

Only loses one star as they tend to close quite early!

Special shout out to Lucas, he makes a incredible express french Martini!!

Came in here last night. Large work event, spent lots of money. We had a great time until a narcissistic idiot behind the bar decided to stop serving us (complete with a smirk on his face too). In fairness, he was short and not very attractive, so expect he has a residual chip on his shoulder - but still. So annoying - i wish i'd gotten his name. Aside from this: - Tables and Menus Sticky - Beer served in warm glasses - No ashtrays outside (so cigs all over the floor) - Often nobody behind the bar when needing to order, or staff chatting/not paying attention. It's nice but not all that, and whoever that barman was, needs to get over himself!

Tables are dirty, food is good but way too salty, drinks and food are overpriced. Looks really nice and has a good atmosphere but everything else sucks

Popped in on a quiet afternoon, venue looks fantastic and we will definitely be back to play shuffleboard/ darts. Definitely won't be eating, food was decidedly average. We love salt n pepper chicken, but this was just smothered in a weird mix of burnt chilli flakes and spring onion. The purple slaw was beyond tastless but helped cool the burnt chilli taste on everything. The waffled fries were OK, but again, far too much of the burnt seared in chilli flakes. It looked great but just didn't taste good. Staff were helpful and polite, and the husband said the craft beers were really good. Will be back for drinks and games and maybe a bag of crisps.

A nice busy pub. Surprisingly good vegan options, but not great. It was junk food only. The shuffleboard was auper fun.

Absolutely heaving. But Friday before Christmas, so meh.

Good pint, excellent service and atmosphere.. Well recommended.

Decent range of beers, spacious on a Friday night. Nice vegan kebab. Friendly stagg.

Great venue, great beer, excellent staff

Not my sort of place. Packed with vertical drinkers, but those who frequent these trendy bars no doubt enjoy. Beer brewed on site indifferent. May be better earlier in day?

Great food! Highly recommend the waffle fries and Nom Nom Noms

Great staff and atmosphere. Love the range of beer.

Nice bar with industrial vibe. Great choice of ales. Shuffle board and darts to play and have a big screen, no doubt for big games but not on whilst there. Have a happy hours too.

Vibrant atmosphere and plenty going on

Great food, good beer. Great place to play word association - broccoli to cream sauce in 4 steps. Amen

Great! Especially for big groups or sports fans, the interactive darts games are mint and always good food

Enjoyed it on a works afternoon.

Great bar in Manchester. Great selection of ales and very nice food

Didn't have the food but it looked good beer expensive but that's town for you service and atmosphere good

Well, nice decor etc but the menus very old, dirty, sticky planks on the table Chips nice! But Long Island ice tea tasted like coke with ice/. Can’t even taste alcohol in it for £9 Dirty menus like you would not dream off. If you looking for a quick drink and go home then this is the place for you.

Came food to see a little sign statingbno food today ... oh well had a drink found the atmosphere relaxing the pub games intresting the brew room very intresting will be back to try some food once i have i will update my scores ...lovely bar staff and well worth a visit

Great beer selection as well as pub games - what is there not to like

Standard city centre prices. Decent looking with entertainment you can muster up with the darts and other team games. Worth a visit.

Quiz night, very enjoyable experience

Good beer but the atmosphere is dead and the darts is very expensive!! £10 a head to play

Casual and friendly - lots of space too and good beer selection!

Came here as its not too far from home and wanted to try out a new place. Our food was awesome, not as spicy as advertised but that's OK. Drinks were reasonably priced and was happy to see some dart boards. A little pricey for darts but still had a good time.

I visited here with my boyfriend where we purchased 1 pint and 1 Diet Coke. When we paid with a £20 note and received only coins as change we were confused. When we asked about the change we were given, the guy (manager I believe) stated we were actually under-charged and stated he would ‘let us off’ with the 20p I know pints aren’t cheap these days, but I’m not convinced the price was correct in this instance.

the table was absolutely filthy and we entered the bar without a sight of member of staff the food was less than average , but above all else I attest expect to have a clean place to sit and drink

Over-all found this place average only compared to other happening places all around that you can enjoy

Great little bar. Good selling of beers

Great food, but limited choice. Reasonable bar prices. Plenty of seating inside and out. Great location.

The Gas Works is a fantastic place to go to. I hadn't been in a while but that doesn't diminish the fact it is a great place to visit. Was slightly confused with regards to the burger options on the menu. I didn't understand that you can select the style of burger and type of sauce / glaze it comes in. Nonetheless I would definitely visit again and have the beef burger. It was delicious.

Came here for the delicious food being served from Thief Street. Absolutely fantastic bar although the atmosphere is a bit generic the drinks certainly make up for that.

Only popped in for some Camden Pale Ale 🍺 Great atmosphere

Shuffleboard was lots of fun. Nice beer too

Great bar, not packed. Great game of shuffle

Had a pub quiz on and the volume from the guy hosting was just way louder than it should have been. The staff behind the bar were to busy chatting instead of serving and gave off an unwelcoming vibe. We did order food that took an absolute age to turn up at our table - again partially down to the staff behind the bar chatting away to each other as I could hear the chef smashing the bell for food to be taken out Probably won't return again.

We always end up here at the back end of a Theatre visit or other show. It is the perfect end of the night for us. I love the brewed on site beer and my wife the G&T, and we both love the service. It has a really nice vibe lots of comings and going, great music and we love to watch the Shufl. Young slick staff who add to the enjoyment

First impressions of this venue were positive, nice atmosphere and modern vibe. A little loud for my taste, despite not being super busy (6pm ish on a Thursday) I did feel like I was having to shout over the music to have a conversation with the person sat right next to me. I found the menu to be confusing - "chicken nugs"? are they chicken nuggets or something else? Actually they are quite large juicy chicken goujons but who knew? We ordered the Malaysian Buffalo Fried chicken which should have come with some kimchi that seemed to be completely missing (not sure what was Malaysian about it either to be honest, isn't Kimchi Korean? and I ordered the the Pork n Yard - jerk belly pork with honey lime yoghurt which I really didn't notice and purple slaw which pretty much half filled my bowl. The Waffle fries which I'm guessing came out of the freezer were somewhat greasy to say the least although my friend considered them to be the best bit of our total order. Over all I think what could have been a fantastic experience was disappointing, despite being quiet it took 40 minutes to fry some chicken and fries that were over priced and not that great. The only redeeming feature were the fantastic front of house staff who do provide excellent customer service, no complaints there. Girl behind the bar remembered no ice for our second round of drinks after we'd requested that for the first round. Switched on helpful staff who'd I'd employ in a heartbeat. Shame about the menu, simple food trying to be clever but just being confusing. Not nearly as excited about you opening a branch in Northwich now I've been to sample the offering...

I love this place - every single member of the team is different and lovely in their own way. Every. Single. One. It's comfortable, spacious, the music is always different. Loud enough to sing along to if you so choose but quiet enough to hold a convo. It's just chilled and has come to be one of my happy places since moving here a few months ago Can't forget Dave's Pub Quiz - uh-mazing, every other Tuesday free entry and decent prizes 😍

Just a great place to meet up with friends

Alright bar with good choice of ales and beers

The whole place wasn't being cleaned as they clearly didn't have enough staff working. Tables were full of glasses and food cartons. The food took 40 mins to arrive and although it did taste great, one of the dishes was quite cold like it had been sat a while before being brought out.

Great place great beer. Absolutely loved the authentic table slider games, great team fun games

Food was very good but had a few things out of stock including cheese for the burgers. Try explaining that to the missus when she sent you to the bar while she keeps an eye on table. Good atmosphere and cold beer

Dead during happy hour. None of their own beers on tap

over the years of drinking margarita I didn't realise you can f.it.up and make it taste cheap and disgusting. and serve without salt! so far the most disappointing marharita in my life.

Most undrinkable margarita ever, served without salt and without warning ⚠️

Cool vibe, mainly locals, but still cool 😎😉

Always great, great selection of beers on tap and otherwise, shufl is always fun, atmosphere is busy without being overly loud

Typical generic Manchester bar. Nothing to differentiate it from others of the ilk.

Disappointed that they had none of their own beers on tap. The beers we did have weren't kept that well either. I doubt I'll waste my time coming back.

Love the bar and come here for a few drinks all the time but this time we came for lunch. Service was very fast and the food was great and reasonably priced.

Absolutely fantastic food. Spacious inside. Nice decoration. Has outside table and seat. I am surprised the food is so delicious at here. Also in very reasonable price. Staffs are nice. Defo will come back .

First time in here, great looking bar, good range of beers, didn't get to try the food.

Endroit plutôt branché où le tout Manchester se retrouve autour d'une bonne bière.

Not quite sure what I expected but this wasn't it... Hugely commercial (although given where it is I'm not surprised), own beer bland and dull, cask beer range bit more interesting. I'd go back and try it again, but I wasn't a fan really on this occasion.

Excellent food and very friendly staff

Decent beer and food. Has a shuffleboard too.

Lovely bar - great food and good beers 🍻 good table games too

Rapid bar service and friendly staff!

Place is really good wicked vibe stuff to do great beer. Overall ace.

Good food and good service! Great vegan options If that's what you after

Good food, good beer and shuffle board!
